I personally don’t think you can go wrong with either one. I use the Echo and it has never let me down. One major positive for the Echos are they have a 5 year warranty compared to Stihl’s 2 year warranty.

Wow, was I impressed. I recently bought the Echo 2620T. Couldn't wait to start it up and give it a try, I fueled it and followed the instructions. The beast fired up on the 4th pull for its maiden run. Keeping the speed down, I edged our lawn, and trimmed the few areas my mower can't get into. I called it a Beast, because it is one. I had first ordered the 2320T, and was disappointed that it wouldn't cut our St. Augustine grass runners. Sending it back, I then ordered the 2620T, and what a difference. I also installed a timer on my new beast, and to date, I have run it now for 10.7 minutes. I'm not going to use full power till I reach 25 minutes, but then I haven't had to either. This beast is beautiful, and worth every penny.

I highly recommend the Echo brand, because if all their gas engines run as well as my new 2620T trimmer, I will no longer use my old FS55R Stihl. It was good, but then I didn't have anything else to compare it with. Now that I do, I won't be going back to Stihl. I'm also running Ethanol Shield now mixed in my 5 gallon gas container. Life is beautiful in my two yards.

I own that Echo trimmer and have found it to be the best one I have ever had. It is a beast and goes through anything and doesn't complain. First trimmer that I have kept the factory line feed system on. The Echo string is the best, sometimes I will trim for almost an hour and never feed new line out. Since I got this trimmer I have been converting other thing to Echo and have not been disappointed.

I have owned both brands. Stihl was the premium back in the day. With attachments: multiple different blades, harnesses, handles, face shield and muffs cost us a small fortune. Loved it though. Echo is my go to now. Currently have had a straight shaft for over 8 years doing basic tune ups, and just today having to replace the Recoil starter assembly. I run it into the ground and like a timex takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Just purchased another one on sale at Home depot to dedicate it with a blade kit. Thanks for the time you took. Good comparison.

So far I've just been running echo and love them. I put them through hell every week and they keep going so far

[Thelivinglifeshow]

I use Echo products and I’ve never had any problems. I have the SRM-225 and the CS-590 Timber wolf chainsaw. Love them both.

I got a 2320T last year. Cleaned out a ditch with Black Diamond 95 line and it was amazing. My neighbor’s kid runs a 2620T for his lawn care business. He’s the one who turned me on to Echo stuff.

[lanceadams]

thats a good comparison. I'd be happy with either although I'd lean toward the echo because it has a greater fuel capcity so you don't have to refuel so often. Thanx for your effort - it's probably the best - non-bias video I've seen

[stephenott]

I've owned a small lawn care business for 15 years and still have 2 Echo machines running from the beginning. All I have done to my equipment is use non-ethanol fuel (91 octane), Echo brand 2-stroke oil, added Stabil to the fuel. Prior to storing for winter ran the engine till warm, drained fuel from tank, started till engine dies. Never any issues. Solid equipment.

[chucknorris]

My favorite was definitely the echo I can’t believe it had a smaller engine and it’s performance was better I will definitely buy an echo

[brittthomas]

I've got an ECHO SRM-266S, & it's an absolute beast; especially w/ the Samurai Fury line. I love it. Nice vid!

[ForgeKnife]

I have a 30 year old echo trimmer, it still runs like new and it’s a good thing since parts are no longer available. Also still using an echo power pruner that is about 25 years old.

[Paisteboy]

I'm sure the Echo is amazing too but I can only speak to the FS 90R that I've had since 2012 and Stihl starts and runs like it's brand new! Love it!

[jjruparcic]

I currently own an electronic echo and love it. My favorite feature is how the line is loaded!

[richardf]

As a homeowner I’ve run a Shindiawa for 17 years just purchased an Echo 2620 so we shall see! Thanks

[Fottoamatore]

As a former professional user (did a lot of landscaping and gardens maitenance while at university) shindaiwa (same as echo machines) was my choice when i bought my brushcutter for "domestic" use. My T260 (26cc) stood my abuse fighting weekly mediterranean maquis, cistus, heater, bramble bushes and so on, weed is the lightest thing it cut, for 20 years. So, if it never fails on me, it will be replaced by shindaiwa or echo.

[mattd]

I love the echo used Redmax, stihl, husqvarna and shindaiwa. My two favorite is shindaiwa and echo which are basically the same. I can do 9 good size yards on one tank and refill my line in seconds without beating the head to death trying to get it to feed. That speed head is definitely a game changer. Good video man stay safe.

[mvtseffn]

I have been a landscaper for the last past 25 years I've used nothing but Echo echo is a great company every time I needed my power equipment and always there they always started that's why I go with Echo

[mrdossp.]

Both are excellent. I use and prefer the fs90r by far more powerful machine. One swipe and done as the video elistrated. Thank you for the demo

[STIHLSEAN]

Great video! I would take the stihl over the echo, but I'm a bit biased. I used to work for a stihl distributor so maybe that's why. I also like the way the stihl engineers seem to think ahead and incorporate a better service experience when designing their products. However having said that, the echo srm-2620t is one hell of a nice machine.
